Eating strike

I'm sure this topic has been covered but my 21 month old has decided he doesn't want to eat meals. What do y'all do if your LO's don't eat? I feel awful putting him to bed hungry. He will always eat fruit and ramen noodles but I can't give him that everyday! He used to eat anything and everything! He's also getting over a 2 week cold. Should I just let it go and hope he'll just eat when he's hungry? Tia

My son does this from time to time. We let him snack on what he wants at first but if he does it for more than a couple days we stop feeding him snacks and milk until he gets hungry enough to eat meals, usually around 4-5 hrs.
